7th Sea doesn't get enough love these days. Mighty fine game it be, says I! As for the issue at hand: There are many games that do several things you'd typically find in D&D better than D&D. However, D&D is the best when it comes to playing D&D, and Spelljammer isn't just a space game: It is...

Make a regular D&D campaign and keep dropping anchors from the sky on them until someone takes a bite. Once they do, you can say "Hey, it's your fault". More seriously, I think you can go two ways: In one you ask players to give it a try to see if they like it, fully assuming that Spelljammer...

It's not just the Apocrypha; for Orthodox and Catholics, the Bible alone is not enough for teaching the faith, as Tradition is also necessary, from where the Exegesis (explanation of the text) comes from. That is, after all, one of the central aspects to the differences between...

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!

I finally watched it last night, and I absolutely loved it. I'm already planning to watch it again with some friends next week. The movie felt like a homage to the original trilogy; it's clear the plot is almost the same as Episodes IV, V, and VI combined, but rather than a copy with new paint...

I read it in the same manner of what Alzrius says: The way the line is written ("Her white face was sticking out from behind a tree") sounds more like the author is trying to convey that her white features are particularly noticeable in the otherwise dark surrounding. While I'm sure we could...

I have no objections to the change, particularly if the author herself states that she never specified the colour of the character. Since I haven't read the books and only watched the movies, I'm used to a white Hermione, but causes me no distress to see a change. That said, my personal...

That's "Sola Fide" - "By/Through Faith Alone". It's a predominantly Protestant belief (I think there are some Protestant denominations that eschew it, though. Can't remember which ones); neither Catholics nor Orthodox ascribe to it, believing instead that salvation requires inner qualities...

At least as far as the Catholic Church is concerned, Muslims worship the same God we Christians do. Catechism #841 goes as follows: "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of...

Though I don't particularly like the execution of the Wall of the Faithless, I like the concept. It seems fitting than a world ruled by fickle, egotistical deities there would be a similarly unsavoury method of dealing with souls that feel they can ignore them. I think that hand-waving deities...

Count me in for Endless Legend as well. Arcanum would be a great TTRPG too.

In principle, I have no ideological objections to the measure, though it's clear the effectiveness will be critically dependent on how responsible the people are in using this extra money to fit into their basic budget. However, I do wonder about the impact this would have on inflation within...

Have any of you been in the need of engaging contingency measures to avoid getting spoiled before watching Star Wars? In this day and age, not watching something the very next day it's released and then logging into any social network feels like a game of Minesweeper in which all boxes are 8s...

If it were up to me, I'd go full-on with the subject and publish a wardrobe hardback. But I understand if the current publishing policy makes that unlikely to happen before 2018. So I'd be fine with storage wardrobes for now, maybe adding some fluff on magical variants and letting us homebrew...

I've been reading through the equipment and items chapters of 5e, and I still can't find ruling on wardrobes. I feel like the devs have really dropped the ball as far as furniture goes in the current edition. Would you like the wardrobe being added to 5e in future supplements? Even a UE...

Planescape! It's kind of cheating too, since it technically includes several of the other settings....

My main campaign is set in Planescape + Spelljammer. Running two secondary campaigns (one starts later today, in fact) in the Realms.

Star Wars has survived far worse. We're fine.

Absolutely. I'm pretty certain most of my own homebrew stuff based on cultures I'm not intimate with commit far more sins than anything in 7th Sea. The things I mentioned are very minor things that are easy to alter depending on personal preferences (on a deeper level, I often ignore the more...
